I never see the yellow light, even with the maximum warning time. Is mine defective

Do you have the dials set for different times (with the yellow at less time than the green)? For us, we have the green dial turned to 30 and the yellow dial at 25. When we hit start, the yellow light and buzzer goes off in 25 minutes and the red light and final buzzer goes off 5 minutes later (at the 30 minute mark). If you set your timer this way and it doesn't work, then yes, it's defective.

Set the green to 15 minutes and set the yellow to 10 minutes. You should see the yellow after 10 (thus 5 min before the green goes off at 15). It's not overly intuitive...it's not how i set it the first time. If it doesn't work (turn yellow) when you do this, it may be defective.

Took me a couple of tries to figure it out. The other answers are on target. Try setting it with green on 10 and yellow dial on 5. Start it and see what happens. No yellow at 5, then it isn't working correctly.

Return the item. I had the same issue with the light I purchased or call Amazon.

The yellow light doesn't light up at all. This works great for our son. Go back to sleep if the light's red, and get up if it's green.

I charged mine and when i went to sync it the green light stayed on. No matter what i try i cannot get it to beep or flash, light just stays solid green. I will be returning it.

if it was installed correctly, the backlit showed be on. There is a wire that is connected to the power, that should be properly inserted into the small connector on the circuit board.

The yellow lights should stay on an increment along the light path until full. If you are stating the light goes out and there are no lights on the unit at that time (even though still plugged in) then that sounds like an issue

I has the same issue. I unplugged it & after it was replugged in it stopped. But every once in a while the yellow light starts blinking again. So far it has not effected the printer's ability to work well. Hope that helps.

I got the 2 i ordered about 5 days ago and when it charges the led light is yellow and when its down the led light completely turns off... I never seen a red led light before... You might want to search for a online manual or check your box you received it in for details

Sounds like it could be the chip is installed wrong or missing altogether. That will give you a red light also. Mine works super.. Yes series is correct..

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

make sure it is connected to a video source, yellow plug. other than that i dont know. maybe defective? i would try a few different things before sending it back. turn it off then on, letting it warm up, etc

Certainly sounds like you wired it correctly. Just remember that LEDs are polarity sensitive, so make sure your positive is on the red wire. If that is confirmed, then I have nothing more to suggest.

Check the electronic eye on top of the light. I had a similar problem and it was the electronic eye. I bought a replacement at Home Depot for a little under $10 and that took care of it. Hope you can figure it out!

I had this issue before, and when asked a friend who had installed he same wire he said his does the same, however, and after 4 months my wire gave out and stopped working... when i got the replacement, the red (alert) light stayed off and only the green light is on unless there is a real alert.So I am not 100% sure if it is defective, but the red light should come on only when there is an alert.

Mines is yellow too but I was never able to program it. Is not as easy as they say. I ended up returning it.
